It actually *can* lead to a "sort of" DFS corruption if the NN and DN
versions are too far apart and a block conversion was required. i.e., 0.21 vs
0.20 . In that scenario, you can only roll forward, not back. If you really
wanted the older version, then you are a bit SOL, as there is no roll back
without a snapshot being taken beforehand.
